THE RESEARCH INTO ACME-FEATURES OF PRODUCTIVE SCIENTIFIC AND PEDAGOGICAL ACTIVITY OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS TEACHERS

Abstract

The article presents the results of a study of the features of productive scientific and pedagogical activities of higher education institutions teachers. The research has been conducted on the basis of acmeological approach. The analysis of scientific and pedagogical activities of the teachers has been made being based on the study of scientific works and the selection of appropriate criteria (goal-motivational, cognitive, activities, communicative, reflective-productive ones). The three levels of their productivity are differentiated. The highly productive level is characterized by such aspects: teachers' scientific orientation, the interest in scientific knowledge, the constant need to generate new ideas, high-level research knowledge and skills, the desire for continuous self-development, high level of research competence. The productive level is characterized by such aspects: teachers' inherent need to acquire value-oriented innovative knowledge, pertinent skills, continuous self-improvement, significant effectiveness of scientific and pedagogical activities. Ineffective teachers are characterized by such aspects as low motivation and lack of interest in scientific research, low efficiency of scientific activity. The dependence of the motives for further scientific and pedagogical activity on the level of teachers' productivity has been proved in the process of the research of their acme-peculiarities. It has been proved that it is the creative nature of teachers' activity that allows to realize both their own natural potential and the natural talents of young researchers. Thus, the study of acme-features of productive scientific and pedagogical activities of the teachers of higher education has shown that a set of activating factors of motivation, satisfaction and research competence determine the creative orientation of teachers, their desire to reach the acme-pinnacles.
